Meyer Memorial Trust

First called the Fred G. Meyer Charitable Trust, this foundation was created by the late Fred G. Meyer, who built the chain of retail stores bearing his name throughout the Pacific Northwest. When Mr. Meyer died in 1978 at the age of 92, his will established the charitable trust, bequeathing it nearly two million shares of stock in Fred Myer Inc. In 1982, most of the designated funds were transferred from the estate and the charitable trust began operating. All stock in Fred Meyer Inc. was sold prior to the transfer.

There is no relationship between the company and the charitable trust. In 1990, the name was changed to Meyer Memorial Trust to make the distinction between the business and the foundation more clear.

Meyer Memorial Trust was the largest private foundation in the Pacific Northwest until 1995. It is still among the largest 100 foundations in the nation.

When the Meyer Memorial Trust celebrated its 20th anniversary, we did a lot of reflecting on our first 20 years. Because foundations face so little scrutiny from outside, we thought it would by useful to us and others to take a candid look at the first two decades of our development. We include the results of that analysis here.
